Elisse Joson reveals why she and McCoy De Leon agreed to rekindle their romance
Elisse De Leon opened up about her rekindled romance with McCoy De Leon as she shared their biggest reason for it.
In a recent interview on Magandang Buhay, the actress said she could only turn out thankful for everyone who continues to support and love them as a couple. “I’m grateful kasi ang daming nagmamahal sa amin na nakakatulong din for us to, alam niyo ‘yun, come together kasi alam niyong maraming sumusuporta sa inyo, maraming nagmamahal.”
She went on to explain that she doesn’t easily give up on the people she loves. “Sa family, hindi naman ‘yan basta susukuan lang agad eh. You have to work hard for it, and kahit anong mangyari, gagawin mo ang lahat talaga para magsama-sama kayo, maayos,” she said.
Elisse shared that their daughter, Felize McKenzie, was a big factor in their decision to get back together. “Kapag tinitignan naming [siya], parang sabi namin, ‘Grabe, mag-aaway pa ba tayo? Tignan mo naman oh, ang blessed-blessed natin sa batang ito.’”
McCoy confirmed that he and Elisse broke up in January this year. Reconciliation rumors swirled between the two weeks later. In a February interview, he said he’s “happy” with Elisse.
McCoy and Elisse met on reality TV show Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky 7 in 2016, where their romance bloomed. They briefly broke up in 2019 and reconciled two years later. They welcomed their first child in April 2021.
